June 9, 2011

June 9th, 2011 (Vancouver, BC) - Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL, Frankfurt: FR4N)(“Freegold”) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling on the Vinasale Gold Project located in southwest Alaska on which Freegold entered into an Exploration Agreement with an Option to Lease the Vinasale Project from Doyon Limited, an Alaskan Native Regional Corporation, in 2007.

An induced polarization (IP) survey is already underway which is expected to significantly expand upon the previous IP coverage and is anticipated to help define other areas that may be prospective to host additional mineralization outside of the Central Zone. The Central Zone covers a 300 metre by 400 metre area and hosts all of the current NI 43-101 compliant resource. The zone remains open in three directions and to depth.

Drilling by previous operators intersected mineralization similar to that seen in the Central Zone in the NorthEast Zone which is locaed1,200 metres to the northeast of the Central Zone. On average drill holes in NorthEast Zone have been drilled to an average depth of 90 metres are widely spaced.

Significant historical intercepts in this area include:
